%N Numerators of averages of squares of the divisors of n.

%C Because Mathematica represents rational numbers with the smallest possible denominator, the terms of the sequence are numerators appropriate to such denominators. For example, the divisors of 3 are 1 and 3, so their squares are 1 and 9. The mean of those squares could be represented as 10/2 or 5/1. Mathematica selects the latter so a(3) is 5 rather than 10.
